        The Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE) consists of two separate                                                                
 components:  1) a Quarterly Interview panel survey in which each                                                                    
 consumer unit (CU) in the sample is interviewed every 3 months over a 15-month                                                      
 period, and 2) a Diary or recordkeeping survey completed by the sample                                                              
 consumer units for two consecutive 1-week periods.  Each component has                                                              
 its own questionnaire and independent sample.                                                                                       
                                                                                                                                     
        There are several features of the ongoing survey which should                                                                
 be mentioned. New households are introduced into the sample on a regular                                                            
 basis as other families complete their participation.  For the survey as                                                            
 a whole, 20 percent of the sample is dropped and a new group added each                                                             
 quarter. Thus, each month, one-fifth of the units interviewed are new to the                                                        
 the survey.  This rotating procedure is designed to improve efficiency now                                                          
 that the survey is continuous.  Another feature of the survey is that students                                                      
 living in college- or university- regulated housing report their own                                                                
 expenditures directly, while at school, rather than being considered part                                                           
 of their parents' households.                                                                                                       
                                                                                                                                     
        The Interview survey collects detailed data on an estimated 60 to                                                            
 70 percent of total household expenditures.  In addition, global                                                                    
 estimates, that is, expense patterns for a 3-month period, are obtained                                                             
 for food and other selected items.  These global estimates account for an                                                           
 additional 20 to 25 percent of total expenditures.  In the Diary survey,                                                            
 respondents are requested to report all expenditures made during their                                                              
 2-week participation in the survey.  All data collected in both surveys                                                             
 are subject to Census and BLS confidentiality requirements, which                                                                   
 prevent the disclosure of respondent's identity.                                                                                    
                                                                                                                                     
        The Quarterly Interview portion of the survey was designed to                                                                
 collect data on major items of expense, household characteristics, and                                                              
 income.  The expenditures covered by the survey were those which                                                                    
 respondents can recall fairly accurately for 3 months or longer.                                                                    
 Each sample household was interviewed once per quarter for five                                                                     
 consecutive quarters.  Data collected in each quarter were considered                                                               
 independent so that annual estimates are not dependent upon the                                                                     
 participation of a consumer unit for the full five quarters.  Data                                                                  
 collection activities have been conducted on a continuous basis since                                                               
 October 1979.                                                                                                                       
                                                                                                                                     
        For the initial interview, information is collected on demographic                                                           
 and family characteristics and on the inventory of major durable goods of                                                           
 each consumer unit.  Expenditure information is also collected in this                                                              
 interview, using a 1-month recall.  It is used along with the inventory                                                             
 information solely for bounding purposes, that is, to classify the unit                                                             
 for analysis and to prevent duplicate reporting of expenditures in                                                                  
 subsequent interviews.  This first interview is not on the tape.                                                                    
                                                                                                                                     
        The second through fifth interviews use uniform questionnaires to                                                            
 collect expenditure information in each quarter.  Wage, salary, and other                                                           
 information on the employment of each household member is collected in the                                                          
 second and fifth interviews. For new CU members and CU members who started                                                          
 work since the second interview; wage, salary, and other information on                                                             
 employment is asked in the third and fourth interview.  If there is no new

 third and fourth.  In the fifth and final interview, an annual supplement is                                                        
 used to obtain a financial profile of the household.  This profile consists of

      A.  CHANGES FROM THE 1982-83 TAPE                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                     
        There are several changes from the 1982-83 tape which should be mentioned.                                                   
                                                                                                                                     
  1)  Summary expenditure data, as well as a few other variables, have been added to the end of the Consumer Unit Characteristics    
  and Income (FMLY) file.  A few other variables have been deleted.  See section on File Content and Structure.                      
                                                                                                                                     
  2)  A GIFT variable has been added to the end of the ITAB file because the aggregation file works off of the UCC/GIFT codes.       
                                                                                                                                     
  3)  Files containing data on the inventory of major household appliances and vehicles as well as data from the travel              
  section have been added to the tape.                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                     
  4)  New weights, using the Generalized Least Squares (GLS) method, will replace the Principal Person (PP) method used              
  in previous CE publications.  The GLS weights can be found in variables FINLWT01-21.  The PP weights can be                        
  found at the end of the FMLY file in variables CENWT01-21.                                                                         
                                                                                                                                     
  5)  Rural data is included on this tape.                                                                                           
                                                                                                                                     
  6)  In December of 1987, a second version of this tape was created for new users and offered to those who already                  
  had the 1984 Interview tape.  The purpose of the second tape was to correct values for health insurance, income,                   
  and retirement and pension.  It should, therefore, be noted that the first quarter of 1984 (Q841R) on the second version           
  of the 1984 tape will be different than the first quarter of 1984 (Q841) on the 1982-83 tape.

      B.  IMPROVED WEIGHTING METHOD                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                     
        The method by which the sample of interviewed households is made to                                                          
 represent the population is known as weighting.  The weight of each sample                                                          
 household included in the survey is the number of households it represents                                                          
 in the total U.S. population.  Currently, the weighting procedure                                                                   
 used in the Consumer Expenditure Survey is similar to that used in other                                                            
 large household surveys such as the Current Population Survey.  The final                                                           
 steps of this procedure are collectively known as "principal person"                                                                
 weighting.                                                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                     
        Over the past few years, BLS has developed an improved weighting method,                                                     
 designed to overcome the problem with the existing weighting procedure in                                                           
 which the demographic estimates from the Diary and Interview surveys                                                                
 sometimes differ from each other.                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                     
        The improved weighting method is the result of a major theoretical                                                           
 and applied research effort conducted by the Bureau over the past couple of years.                                                  
 The procedure called Generalized Least Squares was not used in Bulletin 2267.  However,                                             
 these weights are on this tape under FINLWT01-21.  They will be used starting                                                       
 with the release of total population data in the fall of 1986.  Principal                                                           
 Person weights used in Bulletin 2267 can be found at the end of the FMLY file                                                       
 under CENWT01-21.                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                     
        A more complete description of the new weighting procedure is

        The Bureau of Labor Statistics, upon receipt of the data from                                                                
 the Bureau of the Census, conducts an extensive review to ensure                                                                    
 that severe data aberrations are corrected.  The review takes place                                                                 
 in several stages:  A review of counts and means by region; a review

 of the various data transformations performed by BLS.  Cases of extreme                                                             
 data values are investigated by looking up questionnaires on microfilm.                                                             
 Errors discerned through this procedure are corrected prior to release

        Three major types of data adjustment routines--imputation,                                                                   
 allocation, and time adjustment--are carried out to improve the estimates                                                           
 derived from the Interview survey.  Data imputation routines correct for                                                            
 missing or invalid entries and affect all fields in the data base except                                                            
 income and assets.  Missing or invalid attributes as well as expenditures                                                           
 are imputed.   Allocation routines are applied when respondents provided                                                            
 insufficient detail to meet tabulation requirements.  For example,                                                                  
 combined group expenditures for fuels and utilities are allocated among                                                             
 the components of that group such as gas and electricity.  Time adjustment                                                          
 routines are used to classify expenditures by month prior to aggregation                                                            
 of the data to calendar-year expenditures.  Tabulations are made before and                                                         
 after the data adjustment routines to analyze the results.

        The CE is a national probability sample of households designed to be                                                         
 representative of the population of interest.  First, primary sampling units                                                        
 (PSU's) were selected where PSU's consist of counties (or parts thereof), groups                                                    
 of counties, or independent cities.  The set of sample PSU's used for the survey                                                    
 is composed of l0l areas of which 85 have been previously defined and selected                                                      
 by the BLS for the CPI.  The PSU's in this part of the design represent only the                                                    
 urban part of the United States and are classified according to the following                                                       
 four categories:  "A" PSU's which comprise 27 certainty areas (i.e., they are                                                       
 self-representing) and are primarily large SMSA's; 20 "B" PSU's defined as                                                          
 SMSA's with a total l970 population of over 400,000; 22 "C" PSU's defined as                                                        
 SMSA's with a total l970 population of 400,000 or less; and l6 "D" PSU's defined                                                    
 as urban places in all areas outside of SMSA's.  Since these PSU's were selected                                                    
 with probability proportional to urban population and therefore do not represent                                                    
 the rural population outside of SMSA's, it was necessary to supplement this design                                                  
 with 16 additional PSU's (denoted as "E" PSU's) representing the rural population                                                   
 of the country.  The B, C and D PSU's were selected using a controlled selection                                                    
 procedure to insure a distribution across states and a set of pre-defined strata.                                                   
 Due to budget cuts, the rural areas (E PSU's) of the sample were temporarily                                                        
 discontinued in the last quarter of 1981.  The collection of data in rural areas                                                    
 started again in 1984.                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                     
        The sampling frame (i.e., the list from which housing units were chosen)

        The sample design is a rotating panel survey in which approximately 8400

        Each family included in the CE represents a given number of families in                                                      
 the U.S. population, which is considered as the universe.  The translation of                                                       
 sample families into the universe of families is known as weighting.  However,                                                      
 since the unit of analysis for the CE is a consumer unit, the weighting was                                                         
 performed at the consumer unit level.  Several factors are involved in                                                              
 determining the weight for each consumer unit for which an interview is                                                             
 obtained.                                                                                                                           
                                                                                                                                     
                There are five basic steps in the weighting procedure:                                                               
                                                                                                                                     
                1.   The basic weight assignment is given to an address and is the inverse                                           
                     of the probability of selection of the housing unit.                                                            
                                                                                                                                     
                2.   A weight control factor is given to each interview if subsampling is

                3.   A noninterview adjustment is made for interviews which could not

        Sample means are derived by computing an aggregate weighted

 time period involved.  The sum of the weights for all consumer                                                                      
 units (CU's) reporting expenditures for a particular month                                                                          
 would equal the national population.  Over an annual period this                                                                    
 would yield 12 such populations.  This amount would have to be                                                                      
 divided by 12 to arrive at an average annual population.                                                                            
                                                                                                                                     
        To compute average population properly, one must "weight" the                                                                
 weights of the CU's, adjusting them in relation to the CU's                                                                         
 contribution to total expenditures.  A variable based on QINTRVMO, which is                                                         
 called MO_SCOPE at BLS, ascertains the number of months a CU's expenditures                                                         
 are in scope.  For example, if the calendar year 1984 is being                                                                      
 processed and a CU is interviewed in January of 1984, their MO_SCOPE                                                                
 would equal zero because they are reporting expenditures for October,                                                               
 November, and December of 1983.  Similarly, if the CU was interviewed                                                               
 in February of 1984, their MO_SCOPE would equal one because they are                                                                
 reporting expenditures for November, December of 1983 and January of 1984.                                                          
 January is the only "month in scope" for that CU.  The first quarter                                                                
 of 1985 is on this tape because it includes data refering to 1984.                                                                  
 Five quarters of data is needed to process calendar year estimates.                                                                 
 Average annual population is derived by summing across all CU's the weight                                                          
 (FINLWT21 or CENWT21 in the FMLY file) multiplied by the number of                                                                  
 months the CU was in scope that quarter, and then dividing by 12.  The

        Consider the following general situation.  We wish to estimate expenditures on                                               
 certain food items for a special group (subpopulation) of U.S. consumer units                                                       
 (CU's); for example, all CU's of three persons or all CU's residing in the South.                                                   
 Our specific objective is to estimate the expenditures on item k over a period of                                                   
 q months; where r data months are used in the estimate.                                                                             
                                                                                                                                     
        The following definitions will be helpful in formulating the above type of estimate

 For example, S could be all CU's residing in the South region of the U.S.

               X(j,k,t)  =     the amount of money CU(j) spent on item k during month t.

        CE weighting is performed monthly based on the month of interview.  However, each                                            
 CU reports expenditures for the preceding three months.  Hence, the weight used for                                                 
 each of the three preceding months is calculated by interview month.  In addition, the                                              
 weights have been adjusted so that the sum of all CU weights for CU's interviewed in                                                
 one month approximates one-third of the U.S. population.  Since each month's expenditures                                           
 come from three groups of CU's, the sum of all weights for each months expenditures                                                 
 approximates the expenditures for the total U.S. population.  The CU's on the

        The factor "12" reflects the fact that our estimate is for expenditures over                                                 
 a 12 month period; and the "6" is the adjustment made for the fact that data for                                                    
 6 months is used.                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                     
        The above formula can be generalized to estimate the total expenditures of

       Sample surveys are subject to two types of errors, nonsampling and sampling.                                                  
 Nonsampling errors can be attributed to many sources, such as definitional difficulties,                                            
 differences in the interpretation of questions, inability or unwillingness of the                                                   
 respondent to provide correct information, mistakes in recording or coding the data                                                 
 obtained, and other errors of collection, response, processing, coverage, and                                                       
 estimation for missing data.  The full extent of the nonsampling error is unknown.                                                  
                                                                                                                                     
       Sampling errors occur because observations are not taken from the entire                                                      
 population.  The standard error, which is the accepted measure for sampling error, is                                               
 an estimate of the difference between the sample data and the data that would have                                                  
 been obtained from a complete census.  The sample estimate and its estimated                                                        
 standard error enables one to construct confidence intervals.

      A.  VARIANCE ESTIMATION                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                     
        Variance estimation can be done in many ways.  The method illustrated below (a                                               
 pseudo replication technique) is chosen because it is accurate yet simple to execute.                                               
 The basic idea is to artificially construct several "subsamples" from the original                                                  
 sample data.  This construction is done in a manner so that the variance information                                                
 of the original data is preserved in these subsamples.  These subsamples (or pseudo                                                 
 replications) can then be used to obtain approximate variances for the estimates.                                                   
 Justifications for the procedure may be found in references 1 and 2.                                                                
                                                                                                                                     
        The Interview Public Use Tape contains information that facilitates this form of                                             
 variance estimation procedure.  Specifically, 21 weights are associated with each                                                   
 CU.  The 21st weight (or replicate as it is sometimes called) is used for estimations                                               
 of total or mean expenditures.  The other weights (replicates 1 through 20) are used                                                
 for variance estimation of the totals or means.  Note that half of the weights in each                                              
 replicate are zero.  This reflects the fact that in this technique only half the CU's                                               
 are used in each of the 20 pseudo replicates.                                                                                       
                                                                                                                                     
        Recall that X(S,m,q) is an estimate of the total amount spent by CU's in                                                     
 subpopulation S on item m over a period of q months.  This notation does not reveal                                                 
 the fact that 21 replicate weights of the Public Use Tape are to be used for estimation                                             
 and variance.  We expand the notation to include this information.  Specifically, let                                               
                                                                                                                                     
                 X(S,m,q,a) =    an estimate of the same quantity as X(S,m,q); but using the                                         
                                   weights of the ath replicate given on the Interview Public                                        
                                   Use Tape.                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                     
 That is X(S,m,q,a) is an estimate of the total expenditures by CU's in                                                              
 subpopulation S on item m over q months, and the weights from the ath replicate                                                     
 are used.  Note that the estimate using any one of the first 20 replicate weights                                                   
 only uses part of the data; hence in general X(S,m,q,a) is not equal to X(S,m,q).                                                   
                                                                                                                                     
        An estimate for the variance of X(S,m,q) (denoted by V(X(S,m,q)) can be                                                      
 made by generating 20 separate estimates using the 20 replicate weights as follows:

 The following examples use 1982-83 data for illustrative purposes.  The users                                                       
 are encouraged to produce their own variances using formulas from the above section.

        The estimated standard error of the estimate, s.e. (X), is used to obtain                                                    
 confidence intervals.  Assuming the Normal Distribution applies to the means of                                                     
 expenditures, the following statements can be made:                                                                                 
                                                                                                                                     
        The chances that an estimate from a given sample would differ from a                                                         
 complete census figure by less than one standard error are approximately 68 out of 100.                                             
 The chances that the difference would be less than 1.6 times the standard error                                                     
 are approximately 90 out of 100.  The chances that the difference would be                                                          
 less than two times the standard error are approximately 95 out of 100.                                                             
                                                                                                                                     
        For example, the mean expenditures for housing by total complete income                                                      
 reporters in 1982-83 was $5737.12.  The standard error for this  estimate                                                           
 is $70.96.  Hence, the 95 percent confidence interval around this estimate is from                                                  
 $5595.20 to $5879.04.  Therefore, we could conclude with 95 percent confidence                                                      
 that the mean expenditures for housing for total complete income reporters in 1982-                                                 
 83 lies within the interval from $5595.20 to $5879.04.                                                                              
                                                                                                                                     
        Standard errors may also be used to perform hypothesis testing, a procedure                                                  
 for distinguishing between population parameters using sample estimates.  The most                                                  
 common types of hypothesis are:  1) the population parameters are identical, versus                                                 
 2) they are different.                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                     
        For example, the mean expenditures for apparel and services for complete                                                     
 income reporters in the $5,000-$9,999 group in 1982-83 was $429.01 and for complete income                                          
 reporters in the $10,000-$14,999 group was $612.17.  The apparent difference                                                        
 between the two mean expenditures is $612.17-$429.01=183.16.  The standard error                                                    
 on the estimate of $429.01 is $17.50 and the estimated standard error for $612.17 is                                                
 $13.41.  The standard error (s.e.) of a difference is approximately equal to

 where SQRT(y)=square root(y) and var(z)=�s.e.(z)�**2                                                                                
                                                                                                                                     
 This assumes X(1) and X(2) are disjoint subsets of the population.  Hence the standard error                                        
 of the difference in apparel and services expenditures between complete income                                                      
 reporters of $10,000-$14,999 and complete income reporters of $5,000-$9,999 is                                                      
 about                                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                     
      SQRT�(17.50)**2 + (13.41)**2� = 22.05                                                            (2)                           
                                                                                                                                     
 This means that the 95 percent confidence interval around the difference is from                                                    
 $139.06 to $227.26.  Since this interval does not include zero, we can conclude with                                                
 95 percent confidence that the mean apparel and services expenditures for the                                                       
 complete income reporters of $10,000-$14,999 is greater than the mean apparel and                                                   
 services expenditures for complete income reporters of $5,000-$9,000.                                                               
                                                                                                                                     
        Analyses of the difference between two estimates can also be performed on

 Topcoding refers to the replacement of data by a critical value (the point at                                                       
 which we topcode) where data values exceed the absolute value of the allowable                                                      
 limits.  Replacements of this type are based on special rules governing

 $160,000 total income because two members each earned $80,000.  However, another                                                    
 household with $160,000 earned by only one member would have its household income                                                   
 topcoded at the same level as the individual component; i.e., $100,000.  Any                                                        
 tabulation attempting to differentiate levels of income above $100,000 would be

 The "FMLY" files, also referred to as "Consumer Unit Characteristics and Income", contain consumer unit characteristics,            
 consumer unit income, characteristics and earnings of the reference person, and characteristics and earnings of the                 
 spouse.  These files include weights needed to calculate population estimates and variances.  Each record consists of a             
 CU's information pertaining to 3 months of data (one quarter).  Some data, notably income, is asked using a 12 month                
 recall period.  Other data, such as family size, refers to the point at which the CU was interviewed.  In either case,              
 income and characteristic information can change from quarter to quarter, for example, if a member enters or leaves the             
 CU.

     For each expenditure category in the Interview news release there are 2 variables on this file.                                 
   The first contains expenditures made by the CU in the previous calendar quarter (last 2 letters                                   
   of the variable name 'PQ') and the second contains expenditures made by the CU in the current                                     
   calendar quarter (last 2 letters of the variable name 'CQ').  For example, if                                                     
   a CU was interviewed in February of 1984, the current quarter (CQ) would contain January                                          
   and February expenditures and the previous quarter (PQ) would contain November and                                                
   December of 1983 expenditures.

 The "MTAB" files, also referred to as "Detailed Expenditures", provide monthly data at the universal classification code            
 (UCC) level.  In this file expenditures are given for a consumer unit by UCC and by Gift/Non-gift status.  There may be             
 more than one record for a UCC in a single month if that is what was reported to the interviewer.  Note:  To be used at             
 the macro level, the following UCC's need to be multiplied by 2 because this data is collected in only the 2nd and 5th

 The "ITAB" files, also referred to as "Income", provide monthly data at the Universal Classification Code (UCC) level               
 for consumer unit characteristics and income.  Note:  The following UCC's are from questions asked in only the 5th                  
 interview.  They have been multiplied by 4 because this data is used as an estimator for those CU's not asked.                      
 Therefore, to be used at the micro level they should be divided by 4.

 Of the above UCC's, 800801, 800810-800860, and 900001 were used to calculate                                                        
 total expenditures in our publications.  However, because they would bias in                                                        
 favor (higher ranking) of CU's asked these additional questions, they were not

  These files contain data on the inventory of major household appliances and vehicles as well as data from the                      
  travel section of the 1984 Consumer Expenditure Survey.  The main purpose of collecting the inventory information                  
  was to improve the accuracy of reporting by bounding the time period when items were first obtained, so as to minimize             
  duplication of reports of purchase of the same item in later interviews.  Each consumer unit's identification                      
  number, NEWID, on each file corresponds with its identification number on all other files, by which matching may                   
  be done.  It is imperative that the user refer to the questionnaire, a copy of which is included with this                         
  documentation, since space consideration prohibit the inclusion of all relevant informatin to the                                  
  interpretation of the data on the documentation itself.  Examples of this are the skip patterns in the                             
  questionnaire.  In the Vehicles Section if the respondent purchased the vehicle for someone outside the CU, then                   
  mileage information is not requested.  If the CU received a vehicle as a gift, then the mileage information is                     
  requested but no further questions pertaining to that vehicle are asked, such as; financing charges and trade-in                   
  allowance.  Some of the questions in the questionnaire do not have corresponding fields on the tape.                               
  These fields contained either redundant information or information which cannot be released for the purpose of                     
  insuring confidentiality.

  For each section of the questionnaire covered by this portion of the tape there is a file: 1) Appliance

     a flag field and its interpretation:                                                                                            
                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                     
       A flag value of "A" indicates a valid blank; that is,                                                                         
       a blank field which represents a nonresponse consistent                                                                       
       with other responses of the CU.                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                     
       A flag value of "B" indicates a blank resulting from                                                                          
       an invalid nonresponse; that is, a nonresponse that                                                                           
       is not consistent with other data reported by the CU.                                                                         
                                                                                                                                     
       A flag value of "C" refers to a blank resulting from                                                                          
       a "don't know", refusals, or other types of nonresponses.                                                                     
                                                                                                                                     
       A flag value of "D" indicates that the field contains                                                                         
       a valid or good data value.                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                     
       A flag value of "T" represents a blank resulting from topcoding.                                                              
                                                                                                                                     
       A flag value of "H" represents the allocation of an expenditure                                                               
       to other fields with the original expenditure being overwritten                                                               
       with an H.                                                                                                                    
                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                     
     The flag names are derived from the names of the data fields they reference. In general the rule is:                            
                                                                                                                                     
        An underscore is added to the last position of the data field name to form the flag name.                                    
                                                                                                                                     
1                                                                                                                                79  
     The exceptions to this rule are: 1) if the name is eight characters long, then the fifth position is                            
     an underscore, or 2) if the fifth position is already an underscore, then the fifth position is a zero.                         
                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                     
    ALLOCATION AND RECORD ORIGIN                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                     
     Expenditures which have been allocated and replaced with an H can be recalculated by using the fields                           
     ALCNO and SEQNO.  SEQNO is a counter assigned to make records unique.  ALCNO is zero unless the record                          
     has been split into more records due to allocation.  If ALCNO is greater than zero, the corresponding                           
     expenditure is the result of allocation from a field which has been replaced with an H for that CU.                             
     By summing expenditures with ALCNO greater than zero and the same SEQNO as the one allocated and replaced                       
     with H, one can arrive at the value which was allocated.                                                                        
                                                                                                                                     
     The field REC_ORIG which occurs in every section and is coded has the following interpretation:

     The data on vehicle disposal contained in this section can be matched to the inventory and purchase data in                     
     the previous section by the Vehicle Number, VEHICIC in this section and VEHICIB in the inventory section.                       
     This is done by first matching the CUs by the first seven digits of NEWID and then matching the unique
